Will symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) effect a methacholine challenge?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The inhaled steroid will modulate the effect of a methacholine challenge. However, if your doctor is aware of the medication and still recommends the test, you can proceed with it.
